The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

In the end, Gu Yunzhou had no choice but to agree to Queen Wen. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to listen to Queen Wen's decision about this marriage.

And it was a hasty wedding, the time was very tight, it was at the beginning of next month, only half a month away from now!

"I didn't expect that Qin Shu's wedding would be even sooner than yours and Prince An's."

Haitang was still surprised when she learned that Qin Shu and Gu Yunzhou's marriage was successful.

Qin Wenlan raised his eyebrows. This was something he expected. After all, the two were husband and wife in their previous life.

Now that the matter is settled, Queen Wen will definitely not allow Gu Yunzhou to have any flaws that other princes can use as a handle to attack him.

Only marriage can eliminate the suspicion of the current emperor. If a prince behaves badly, he will never be able to take the throne!

***

The Flower Viewing Festival is coming soon. Qin Wenlan never thought that she would receive an invitation from Gu Changan in this life. This made her a little surprised.

Unmarried men and women in the capital city really like to celebrate the Flower Viewing Festival, especially those who are engaged, who will date on such a day.

How many men and women don’t like the season when flowers are in full bloom? The whole city is full of blooming flowers, and the scenery is picturesque everywhere. The men and women among them are all filled with joy.

Qin Wenlan had never celebrated such a festival before. As his thoughts drifted, he felt a little unreal. He didn't expect that Gu Changan was so romantic?

Who doesn’t have a youthful love?

In her previous life, she had also fantasized about what kind of husband she would marry and what kind of lover she would spend her life with.

However, reality gave her a hard slap in the face, sending her directly into the abyss, and it was all caused by her own extreme stupidity~~

The flower-appreciation note written by Gu Changan himself was hot in her palm. She threw it on the table in front of her, thought for a moment, reached out to pick it up, and threw it into the space.

No matter what Gu Changan's intention was in sending her this invitation, this was the first time in Qin Wenlan's past and present life that she had received an invitation from someone to enjoy the flowers together.

On the day of the Flower Appreciation Festival, Gu Changan personally came to the gate of Qin Hou Mansion in a carriage and waited.

Qin Wenlan chose a dress with smoky purple brocade all over it, satin and beaded shoes of the same color, two pairs of jade hairpins pinned to her simple snake bun, and a light purple gauze diamond fan in her hand.

She is elegant and calm, showing off her dignified temperament to the fullest. She also has a natural domineering air, as if she was born to be a superior.

She was walking slowly in the sunshine, dazzling the eyes. The slender tassels at her ears swayed gently as she walked.

It was rare for Gu Changan to see her dressed so carefully. He was stunned for a moment, then reached out and held her little hand.

The gatekeeper at the Marquis Qin's mansion saw Prince An carefully pulling his eldest daughter into the carriage.

After the carriage drove away, the porter was still in shock. It was really shocking. In all the years he had been working as a porter, he had never seen a man treat a woman like this.

What's more, he's a man of such noble status as Prince An, and the eldest daughter hasn't even married him yet. If she really does marry him, wouldn't her life be...

The carriage was swaying along the street, and Qin Wenlan sat there as still as a mountain, his thoughts actually drifting to who knows where!

Gu Changan looked at the person in front of him who was sitting opposite him, dressed up carefully, and a feeling of joy emerged in his heart.

It seems that it was a good decision to date her this time. Judging from the way she dressed up, it shows that she takes her date with me very seriously!

"Where are we going?" Qin Wenlan looked at Gu Changan and asked.

"Is there anywhere you want to go? We're all here to have fun, so if there's somewhere you want to go, let's go!"

Qin Wenlan shook her head. If she were alone, she would really like to stay here and not go anywhere.

"Since you don't have anywhere in particular you want to go, why don't you go for a walk along the South Lake?"

"By the South Lake?" Qin Wenlan looked at Gu Changan with an indescribable expression. What were they going there to eat in the middle of the day?

Gu Changan pretended not to notice her gaze and said slowly, "The South Lake is always very lively at this time.

I have already arranged a pleasure boat over there. It would be a wonderful thing for us to enjoy the blossoming flowers on both sides while listening to music."

Qin Wenlan herself had never done such a thing. Now that Gu Changan had made the arrangements, she had no objection. She just followed the wheels of the carriage and let her thoughts fly again.

It was not until the carriage finally stopped that she gathered her thoughts and looked at the person in front of her.

Gu Changan still looked dazed. He first slowly got off the carriage, and then took her to a not-so-bustling courtyard.

It is very quiet inside, with not many people coming and going, and the rooms are separated, making it a very private place.

Qin Wenlan had never been to such a place before and found it quite interesting, so he couldn't help but look at it carefully.

Gu Changan was obviously very familiar with the place, and he pushed the car in front to lead the way.

It was not until they entered a room that he whispered to her, “This is my own place, and the people inside are all my own people.

The leader is Yan Rujun. If you have something inconvenient to come to me in the future, you can send it here directly."

Qin Wenlan was slightly stunned, and then he heard Gu Changan say, "His mother is in charge of the affairs of the palace now, and they are all the staff left behind by the queen mother.

Nanny Yan was the maid who was in charge of the business under my mother's command. Later, my mother was worried about me and sent them all out to run these businesses.

I let Nanny Yan help manage the affairs of the palace because I think it would be less troublesome to have someone on my side."

Qin Wenlan listened quietly.

"If you enter the palace in the future and get along well with Nanny Yan, let her live there in her old age.

If you two can't get along, I'll have Yan Rujun take her out of the house and I'll arrange a new place for her."

This time Qin Wenlan was really surprised. He stared at Gu Changan and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, she had never noticed the existence of such a person in the palace in her previous life. Could it be that she was so stupid in her previous life?

Even a maid like me doesn't know this, it seems I am extremely stupid!

Gu Changan met her gaze and smiled, "After all, Nanny Yan has been in the palace before, so she is very clear about some of the things going on there. It would actually be a good thing for you if she stayed.

Of course, if you two really can't get along, then there's no need for that. Wenlan, I'm serious about the things I promised you. There won't be another incident like what happened to the wife of the Ning family."

Qin Wenlan looked at Gu Changan with a puzzled look. What had he promised her? This...

Gu Changan met her puzzled look, smiled faintly and continued, "Didn't our original cooperation terms include a clause that all matters in the palace would be handed over to you for management? These are not just words."

Qin Wenlan: “…”

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.
